Topic: The NEW Game Journal

I tried out DmC last night. MAN, is this incredibly off putting at first for those of us who loved the original Dante. The new one is such a emo punk. Then there's the weird grungy music that plays when battling. Ugh.I slowly became accustomed to this weirdness. The controls are really good, making for some fun battling. Graphics are bizarre as hell so far, so too early to judge.

first, this past weekend left NO TIME for my retro agenda of Chrono Trigger. barely made it out of early bc and through the story events at zeal.

next, Wind Waker. I was all pumped to move onto the wind temple. So I need to find a sage first. No biggie.... or so I thought. I TOTALLY and THOROUGHLY checked the location where I was certain I would find him. But he wasn't there....

3 hours of search later I completed my entire sea chart, and still couldn't find him. Finally, I re-checked where I started. Sure as hell, there he was. Found em in minutes.

Why the "new" sage was not at said location the first time I checked is beyond me but I assure you HE WAS NOT!!!

I haven't read a thing about a glitch like that, or anything of the sort.... and wow did it suck....

I started playing Rayman Legends, it's every bit as good as Origins, and that was fantastic in the first place. I won't spoil anything, but the last level of the first world was wondrous, it's not often a game brings a smile to my face like that.

I tried the demo and I found the controls a little floaty and sluggish for a DMC game. I didn't like them.

Been playing Disagaea 4 recently. Game is alright. Worked better than I thought it was going to initially. Really wish that they had used Valvatorez's 400 years ago design for the entire game because it looks so much better than his present day design. Going through the post-game right now.

15 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles and I finally hit a roadblock at Colony 6.Nevermind. Gave it another shot and kicked Xord's butt. I'm not even sure what I did different, guess I just got lucky. Also, the story is becoming incredibly engrossing. Guess I won't be taking many more breaks from this for a while...

First impressions:= It starts the way you hope it will. :)= It's kinda nice knowing how to navigate old-school Hyrule because I've technically done so several times during the past 20 years.= NOSTALGIA GOGGLES ON and I'M CRYING HAPPINESS ON THE INSIDE. = The graphics are cute, but they look like Fischer Price kids toys up-close.= I like Yuga's first appearance. Her/his humming was a good touch, and in the grand scheme of creative dialogue boxes (like Fi and Demise did in Skyward, and the Twilight Princes 'Spirits of Light' also had): It's like a weird mix of black, jpg'd, TV static... I dunno, I love those kinds of details.= Hyrule: The land where little has changed in centuries since AlttP, the townsfolk are obnoxious, where royal paintings look like pastel drawings. = Ravio is cool. But he's got me on thinking there's more to him then meets the eye. Something about masked Zelda characters always have that effect on me. Kafei in MM, Zant in TP, and to a lesser extent, the Goron's trying to cover themselves up with oversized hats in WW.= Fuck that fucking creepy ass Fortune Teller tune.

= Save points are great and a nice touch= Goddammit Nintendo... I'LL STOP PLAYING WHEN I WANT TO STOP. THANK YOU.

Actually there are a lot of KanColle MMD videos out there, but I really liked that one for whatever reason. The song is actually a cover of a vocaloid song (Megu Megu Fire Endless Night, by samfree), but the voice-overs and cannon fire are not originally part of the song. They're ripped straight out of the game and yet fit so well. I like it quite a bit better than the original (which is kind of a meh song, really...samfree sticks to his schtick...).

So yeah, vocaloid song + KanColle + MMD...the otaku level of that video is off the charts...

It is not, however unique in that regard...I could post a lot more, but I'll spare you. Instead let's just go with this.
